## Working Notes

### For Each Chapter Adaptation:

1. **Extract** key concepts from original text
2. **Assign** to appropriate Parallel Society character(s)
3. **Identify** the core pattern/insight
4. **Compose** the proverb (divination requirement)
5. **Construct** the spell notation (emoji sequence)
6. **Weave** into narrative with Soulbis/Soulbae/Drake framing
7. **Connect** to broader spellbook architecture

### Quality Checks:

- [ ] Does the proverb connect seeker's context to tale?
- [ ] Does the spell notation compress the core insight?
- [ ] Do new characters serve the narrative purpose?
- [ ] Is the original scholarship honored?
- [ ] Does it integrate with canonical spellbook?
